Apple fans are still eight months away from getting their hands on Apple’s tenth anniversary iPhone, and it is expected to arrive with many new features. So, in this article, we will go through the biggest and most exciting changes expected on this year’s iPhone 8
Design
Well, we have seen that Apple releases iPhones which are nearly identical. So, Apple holds the best ideas for the iPhone 8. Rumors from every reputable source claim that iPhone 8 will feature a top-to-bottom design overhaul. iPhone 8 will not have the home button, and the various functions of the home button will be replaced with 3D Touch gestures.
Display
Several rumors claim that Apple will shift from an LCD panel to an OLED panel in the upcoming iPhone 8. Moreover, just like Samsung’s recent Galaxy flagship devices, iPhone 8 will feature a flexible panel that curves on either side at the edges.
Specifications
Apple’s iPhone 8 is going to be powerful. Maybe, the powerful smartphone ever. Apple is expected to feature new 10-nanometer A11 Fusion chipset in upcoming iPhone 8, and faster NAND flash memory. We have already shared an article on A11 Chipset.
Facial Recognition
The reports from Ming-Chi Kuo states that Apple will include a facial recognition feature in iPhone 8. Here’s what the report indicates: “Judging by the bio-recognition patents that Apple has applied for, we believe it is leaning toward facial recognition technology rather than iris recognition. However, we note that the technical challenges of facial recognition include: (1) algorithms; (2) hardware design; and (3) the build-out of a database for verification and authentication, which could be time-consuming. As such, before Apple can fully replace the fingerprint system with facial recognition, a combination of the two steps of bio-recognition could be a valid solution for enhancing transactions security.” So, adding a facial recognition feature would add another layer of safety to the upcoming iPhone device.
Wireless Charging
We already saw that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus eliminated the earphone port and introduced wireless AirPods. So, the rumors also claim that iPhone is testing wireless charging technology. The technology will let a user charge iPhone wirelessly by a unique base station from across a room at the distance of up to 15 feet. So, these are the biggest and most exciting changes that are expected to be introduced in the next iPhone. Did we miss anything? Discuss with us in the comment box below.
